I believe the bombs are precise to within a few metres what with GPS, laser designation and so forth. So then it's all down to the intelligence and the targets. If they're hitting ISIS oil installations in the arse end of nowhere then that seems pretty clear cut. Same as those who are actively fighting at the time.
Towns and cities etc, I'm not so sure they could do it without causing civilian casualties either because of bad intel or the weapon causing damage to people or stuff near the target.
My understanding is that the RAF is doing the former, whilst the Russians are doing the latter. The Russians do use GPS/GLONASS guided bombs though, I believe.
